83. He was operating under the premise of an existing (though very weak) civil
rights legislation that gave him room to slide in there--because the governor was disobeying federal law.

There's no framework to allow feds in there, there is no systemic issue or defiance of federal acts/laws (a single violation, even two, three, or more, don't cut it)--and if you really want federal interference in these demos, it will not be the kind you like, I don't think. It'll be more along the lines of the President calling the governors and letting the NG tip in there. Not a good idea.
